Sinbad The Sailor is our selection with Stage Acclaim and Hasty Lady respected. John Hills' charge has missed a couple of engagements in recent weeks to be here and has shaped well on a previous outing on the surface. With the yard in form, it will be no surprise to see him go well. Stage Acclaim won a handicap on soft going at Lingfield. He was racing off marks in the high-80's this time last season. Hasty Lady ran an encouraging second at Hamilton on her most recent start. She is better than the plating grade she won at previously. Bury Treasure is unproven on the surface. Grey Command put up a career best to chase home the progressive Addikt at this course last week and he wouldn't have to do a lot more to win this. Offshore Anna makes a step up in trip on handicap debut. Hawk House is best of the rest. Sinbad The Sailor has shown enough to suggest that this race is within his compass and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back to form on this surface.
